The new semester is just around the corner and with it comes a multitude of emotions. We don't realize the luxuries we have home until we are forced to eat cafeteria food and sleep on hard springy dorm mattresses. As much as we want to stay home forever, the new semester creeps up on all of us. Your college bill is still not paid, and you forgot to register for those three core classes that you got fourteen emails about, but we have bigger problems. As much as we're all excited for $2 slices and never ending slumber parties, there are still a few things we are dreading beyond belief.
1. Summer is almost over, and I haven't done anything on my bucket list.
"I'll just do it next summer."
2. What is an alarm clock?
(Hits snooze 27 times)
3. Who created a.m. classes, and why are they legal?
"If I don't go, do they still exist?"
4. "I can't wait for syllabus week."
"Mom, I need more textbook money."
5. My queen-sized memory foam bed will be missed the most.
"No, but really."
6. I can't wait to get out of my house.
"Kidding, but not kidding."
7. I need to lose 40 pounds by September.
"Or binge on home cooked meals and Long Island pizza"
8. Can I bring my mom with me?
"..... To come to frat parties with me, duh."
9. I can't wait for weekday drinking to be socially acceptable.
"Two words -- Tequila Tuesday."
10. I have no money.
"....But I'm still going out."
11. I can not go back to eating cafeteria food.
".... Do you have any meals?"
12. I can't wait to see all my friends!
"Can you come to the everywhere with me?"
13. I can't leave my dog.
14. How many days 'till Christmas break?
"Money and free food."
15. What is math, and how do I do it?
"My major has nothing to do with complex fractions."
16. Maybe I will get a boyfriend this year.
"I have, like, seven girlfriends already."
17. Crap, 152 class days till finals week.
"I'll worry about that in 151 days."
18. I can not sit in a three-hour lecture.
"... But I can watch Netflix."
19. I have to do my own laundry again.
"Unless there is food on it, it is not dirty."
20. I'm going to miss home and summer so much!
"But fall, Starbucks, Uggs, oh my."
21. This will be my year...
Says every girl in unison.
So, if you weren't thinking about these things before, you definitely are now and we're all asking the same question. Can it just be summer forever? Unfortunately not, but maybe señorita Thursday's can help us pretend. So strap on your Ugg boots and grab your books cause you're probably already late to class.
